A True History Of several Honourable Families of the Right Honourable Name of Scot | ||
Since the Water of Ail Scots they are all chang'd and gone,
Except brave Whitslade and Hardin,
And Satchels his Estate is gone,
Except his poor Designation,
VVhich never no Man shall possess,
Except a Scot design'd Satchels.

VVhich never no Man shall possess,
Except a Scot design'd Satchels.
Therefore be gone my Book, stretch forth thy VVings and fly,
Amongst the Nobles and Gentility:
Thour't not to sell to Scavingers and Clowns,
But given to worthy persons of Renown.
The Number's few I've printed, in regard
My Charges have been great, and I hope Reward;
I caus'd not print many above twelve-score,
And the Printers are engag'd that they shall print no more.
